Web Design

id’s and classes are styling hooks which we can apply to html elements to give us extra style control. Sometimes you don’t want to control all the paragraphs with a style rule, so we use id’s and classes to give us more granular control.

id’s are can only be used once in a html5 document. They are typically used for large, singular elements on a page. id’s are added into an html 5 element in the following way:

<p id=”introParagraph”>Learn about Pixar!</p>

classes may be used multiple times in a html5 document. They are used typically for repetitive elements, such as a gallery of images, or all the subheadings on a page.

The display property in CSS allows Web Designers to hide / show elements. The display property is used in the following way:

display:none; – this will hide the element that the rule is applied to.

display:block; – this will show a hidden element. Some elements are hidden initially, and you wish to make then appear.
